If your cocktail game has gone stale and you fancy jazzing things up in a big way then we’ve got just the tonic (so to speak).
Dunnet Bay Distillers, who make Rock Rose Gin, have a large portfolio of gins and it seems the wide variety has inspired their cocktail recipe-making skills.
The Apricot Blossom is a gin and brandy combo that also contains a delicious dollop of apricot jam for good measure.
Using the gorgeous Pink Grapefruit Old Tom Gin as a base, this cocktail is something a little different; the fruity combination of apricot and pink grapefruit is perfect for summer sipping.
